HI guys, a couple of weeks ago I brew my first saison. I used dry yeast BE-134. I started my fermentation around 65 F for 4 days and then raised the temp to 80F.
the wort fermented between 70-78 for 14 days, My OG was 1.059 and finished 1.002. I tasted it and the beer is extremely dry. flavor is malty with a bit of peppery citrusy flavors that you find on a saison but then it just flavors get flat with that dryness and leave kind of a bitterness from the hops. I understand saisons need to be dry, but this is really dry. will flavor change or will dryness reduce as it is carbonated on a kegerator?
I'm very concern because it was really dry lol to the point i did not enjoy.
let me know your thoughts. below is recipe ingredients. I mash it at 149-152 for 60 min and boiled for 60 min
thanks
